"Any economist will tell us what India can
become. We are the tenth largest economy
in the world. We can become the eighth,
or perhaps the seventh, largest by 2017.
By 2025, we could become a $ 5 trillion economy, and among the top five
in the world. What we will become depends on us and on the choices that we make.

This year 5.0% growth is expected and the reason for
the same is recovery in investment and industrial production is expected to
take time, while agricultural production continues to be dependent on the uncertainty
of monsoon.
In India, the annual growth rate in GDP at factor
cost measures the change in the value of the goods and services produced in
India, without counting government’s involvement. Simply, the GDP value
excludes indirect taxes (VAT) paid to the government and includes the original
value of products without accounting for government subsidies.

After Budget speech Markets reacted negatively to higher revenue projection from divestment and spectrum sale could lead to higher-than-estimated deficit number. Also, amendment to DTA indicating submission of residency certificate would not be sufficient condition for claiming benefit brought the scare of GAAR back among institutional investors
The Sensex was down 0.4 percent as of 12:39 p.m., after earlier gaining as much as 0.88 percent. The Nifty fell 0.31 percent.
Coming to currency the rupee fell against the U.S. dollar, trading at 53.99/54.00 from levels of around 53.70 before the budget.
Now talking about commodity market gold fell by Rs 180 to Rs 30,150 per ten grams, silver lost Rs 335 at Rs 55,265 per kg on reduced offtake by jewellers and industrial units. Traders said emergence of selling by stockists at prevailing higher levels amid a weak global trend mainly led the fall in both gold and silver prices.
Today only On CAD issue PC appealing to people of India not to demand so much GOLD.if the people of India stop buying gold for one year, that will solve most of our problems in that year... Perhaps he is right in this regard do you agree?? I would raise my thumps on his statement and now I would like to see India’s appetite for gold
To conclude I believe that the Finance Minister has delivered a budget that suggests economic stability supersedes political considerations.
